One of the events for the Winter Festival this weekend will be taking place in the new library. Between 3.30pm and 5.30pm on Friday children (and adults, I suppose) can make their own Christmas lantern, which they can then take up to the Town Square in time for the Switching on of the Christmas Lights by Kate Humble at 6pm.
The marquee was going up in the car park when I passed on my way home from work this evening, and there will be things going on in the Square from 5pm to 7pm, with stalls and choirs and so on.
Hay Library has been open on Friday afternoons since October, and it's proving very popular, especially for parents with young children, regularly attracting over a hundred people each session. HOWLS is hoping that this will continue - the County Council will be reviewing the situation in March.
Meanwhile, work is going ahead to install a screen between the two parts of the library (which was in the original plans, but library shelves were put up where the screens were supposed to go). When that's done, and more funding can be found, it should be possible to open the library on other afternoons in the week.
Meanwhile, the "For Sale/Ar Werth" signs have gone up at the old library building.
